158 P. 280 | Or. | 1916
delivered the opinion of the court.
The evidence consists largely of that of defendant Steen and the plaintiff, supplemented by the deposition of the cashier of the Douglas National Bank of Roseburg, regarding the defendant’s bank account. It tends to show that the defendant, Dan Steen, sold a quarter-section of land in November, 1912, for $6,000, and deposited $5,300 in the bank, making, together with the deposits he then had, $5,970.60. Various sums were withdrawn from the bank at different dates and on March 20, 1913, defendant drew out $5,570.60. On August 26th of that year the balance remaining was $991.85, and on December 6th, $81.85, which amount was attached by plaintiff in the original action. At the time of the hearing the defendant swore that he had no money or credit with which to satisfy the balance of the judgment; that the money had been spent in various ways. The Code provides that:
At such a hearing “either party may examine witnesses in his behalf, and if by such examination it appear that the judgment debtor has any property liable to execution, the court or judge before whom the proceeding takes place * * shall make an order requiring the judgment, debtor to apply the same in satisfaction of the judgment”: Section 254, L. O. L.
The judgment of the lower court will be reversed.
Reversed,
